Just installed the CDCM tune — and the difference is immediately noticeable. The adaptive dampers now react with far greater precision; rebound and compression are better balanced, giving the chassis a taut, composed feel without the harshness that sometimes crept in before. In Dynamic mode, the damping curve feels more progressive — turn-in is sharper, and mid-corner stability is improved with less pitch and roll under load transitions. In Race mode, body control tightens even further, but compliance over sharp surface changes remains surprisingly intact — no more crashiness over expansion joints or mid-corner bumps.


I ran it through a variety of conditions — tight hairpins, fast sweepers, and uneven declines with a left-hand compression dip — and the suspension tracked beautifully, maintaining contact patch integrity and composure. Far more confidence on both entry and exit, with better feedback through the chassis and steering rack. It feels like the dampers finally match the car’s potential.

While I was initially going to do the CDCM swap/exchange and doing a proxi, I ended up getting an SGW and Jason @Alfissimo flashed it remotely. Took about 10 minutes once the flasher was connected to my hotspot on my phone.

I have been wanting to do this mod for a long time, and I'm very glad that I did it. Jason was awesome and made the process painless.

Thank you for the update. This update is on my list as soon as I can swing it, especially as our dealer helped.

Great review! Are you still on stock springs or did you also lower it?

Curious if your car had a "D" module since it is an 18 (my 18 has a "C" so I have to find a "D"). I know Jason sometimes has them but seems like they are sometimes unavailable.

Nice, you got lucky. I have a 10/17 build so still a "C". I did have the 18 "pogo" springs replaced under warranty with the 17 springs and that was a definite improvement. Think I will bite the bullet and just spend the money for a "D" module and get the tune. Heard nothing but good things about it.

To do list changed this is still on it, but now it has a timeframe
I.e. After factory warranty runs out.
